Happy Saturday!!!
Hope everyone is having a great day
I wanted to show you guys my clown crab population.
Clown crabs (Gaudy Clown Crabs) are tiny, brilliantly patterned Caribbean crabs that add a splash of color and personality to any saltwater tank. Theyâre quirky little scavengers that help clean up leftover meaty foods, and theyâre especially handy if youâre trying to control fastâspreading zoanthids or palythoasâbecause they happily munch on both. Their diet is simple: theyâll eat almost any proteinâbased fish food, bits of shrimp or clam, and of course zoas and palys when available. While theyâre not a traditional cleanup crew member, they do provide the dual benefit of waste removal and softâcoral control, all while being one of the most eyeâcatching inverts you can add. Just keep in mind that their love for zoas means theyâre best suited for tanks where those corals arenât prized.
